Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Inside the cutting-edge laboratory that Shen Jue modified.

The rusty iron sheet exterior walls have long been replaced with high-density alloy panels.

There were no signs at the entrance, only a few surveillance devices hidden inside the walls, slowly rotating in the night.

The laboratory was as bright as day.

The air was filled with the smell of cryogenic refrigerant and residual universal serum.

Doctor Octopus Otto sat at a tall worktable.

His back was ramrod straight, and six robotic arms hung silently behind him.

A faint blue current occasionally flashes across their surfaces.

Otto Octavius ​​is no longer that third-rate villain in a tattered trench coat.

Shen Jue recalibrated his neural interface, and the robotic arm's power system was also completely overhauled.

The current models are more accurate and respond faster.

The end effector of each robotic arm can be switched within 0.3 seconds.

"The delay from neural signals to mechanical feedback can now be compressed to seven milliseconds."

As Otto spoke, he used the tip of a robotic arm to draw a complex neural network diagram in mid-air.

"To push it down further, we would need to directly modify the human motor cortex."

"Simply using external interfaces has reached its limit."

Shen Jue stood in front of the holographic projection, his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly sweeping over the fluctuating data.

"Then we don't need an external connection."

"You mean implanting a processor directly into the brain?"

Otto frowned.

"The risk is very high."

"The human brain is living tissue, while the processor is a silicon-based structure."

"There is a huge biocompatibility gap between them."

At that moment, Dr. Kotter, the Lizard, looked up from the gene sequencing station next to him.

Kurt Connors has now returned to the appearance of a middle-aged man.

His skin also had a pale tinge from long-term malnutrition.

But those eyes were incredibly bright.

"Just a simple mechanical implant?"

"I think that instead of stuffing machines into the human brain, it would be better to let the human nervous system grow its own interfaces."

"By targeting and inducing the directed differentiation of neurons."

"We can make nerve endings actively wrap around electrodes."

"This means the rejection reaction is almost zero."

As Connors spoke, he walked up to Shen Jue and respectfully said, "Father Shen Jue."

"Give me enough time, and I can develop a complete biological neural interface."

"Without the need for rejection-suppressing drugs, the human brain will assume that those robotic arms were born with them."

Shen Jue looked at Connors, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"That's why I'm keeping you here, Dr. Connors."

"Otto will handle the mechanical aspects, and you will handle the biological aspects."

"I can also benefit from combining the inspiration and thinking of both of you."

Otto glanced at Connors, his expression somewhat complicated.

"I'm not used to working with people."

"But if it's your request, I will comply."

"That would be best," Shen Jue said calmly.

"After all, children, your sins are numerous."

"If you cannot redeem these sins, even if you are the best scholars."

"I will also make you understand that the past is not a debt that can be easily wiped away."

"Next, I will not only ask you to develop neural interfaces."

"We also need to explore the evolutionary potential of the human brain."

"Red bean buns," Shen Jie said again.

"My expectations of you go beyond just combat strength."

"The future and evolution of artificial intelligence is truly fascinating."

The red bean bun nodded.

"Father, please rest assured."

"Red bean buns have never stopped pursuing the path of evolution."

"Brother Jarvis also provided me with the necessary support."

"whee."

Shen Jue chuckled and said, "Then let's begin."

Just then, a muffled explosion was heard outside the laboratory.

The red warning light then lit up.

Otto's six robotic arms instantly rose, and the end-of-arm weapon system automatically locked on.

Connors was somewhat at a loss. Having lost his powerful physique after transforming into a lizard, he could only take a few steps back.

The red bean bun's blue eyes flashed rapidly.

"Father, there are intruders."

"Three top international mercenary teams."

"I have confirmed their location."

The number of people is thirty-two.

"Carrying heavy firepower, electromagnetic pulse weapons, and at least several mutant killers."

"Besides that, there were a few small mice hiding in the shadows."

"They cut off external communications."

"They are still trying to hack into the defense systems surrounding the lab."

Shen Jue's smile remained unchanged, his hands behind his back.

"Hiring mercenaries? That's quite diligent."

"Who sent them?"

"That's so hard to guess!"

"It's not just people from the medical group," Dou Sha Bao said softly.

"They offered at least $500 million as a reward for Father."

Shen Jue chuckled softly.

"Is that all I'm worth?"

"Seriously, it's not 500 million Berries or anything."

"But the bounty is too low."

"Don't I have any pride?"

Shen Jue turned around and said, "Let them in."

"Give them some unforgettable memories."

A glint of light flashed in Otto's eyes.

"I need some real-world data."

Another explosion shattered the tranquility of the laboratory.

The heavy metal door was blown off by a directional blast and tumbled into the corridor.

Amidst the thick smoke and flames, several fully armed mercenary squads filed in.

They wore helmets and night vision goggles, and the laser sights of their automatic rifles swept haphazardly through the air.

Gunshots, footsteps, and whispers over the radio mingled together.

As the mercenaries rushed into the main experimental area, the two at the front instinctively stopped in their tracks.

They have seen many laboratories and raided many underground bases.

But the scene before them made these veterans who had survived the battlefield hesitate for half a second.

A giant holographic projection floated in mid-air, displaying neural maps and gene sequences that they couldn't understand at all.

Several automated robotic arms stood quietly against the wall, like metal servants awaiting instructions.

On the central control panel, a row of universal serum sample vials gleamed with a pale golden light.

The entire space is cold and precise, like a palace that has traveled from the future.

"My God!"

Someone whispered, "They've hidden a complete high-end laboratory in this warehouse."

The mercenary leader was the first to react, his eyes quickly locking onto the target.

Shen Jue stood there with his hands behind his back, a slight smile on his face, as if he were waiting for them.

Behind him, Doctor Octopus, with six mechanical arms spread out like giant metal wings, coldly watched the intruder.

"Otto Octavius?"

The team leader's pupils contracted slightly as he exclaimed, "Doctor Octopus is here too!"

One of the mercenaries behind him immediately turned his gun on him.

Shen Jue chuckled softly at this moment.

"Welcome to my laboratory."

"Although you did not receive an invitation."

A glint of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the mercenary leader.

"Target confirmed."

"Shen Jue was indeed present."

"Perfect even more than planned!"

"Capture them alive!"

"We're lucky today!"

He raised his hand and gave the order.

"Everyone, get ready!"

"Capture Shen Jue alive!"

"Any other targets that encounter resistance may be eliminated immediately!"

The mercenaries raised their guns again.

Behind the night vision goggles, there was tension, and also greed in the eyes.

At this moment, Shen Jue said calmly, "She's really cute."

"Let my children shatter your illusions."

"Your fate from now on will be exceptionally difficult."

"I will cherish every biological brain."
